Pot Pie

I have made this using chicken, turkey, and even just veggies. You can use any combination of vegetables and/or meat you'd like - just use roughly the same volume as it calls for in the recipe and you're all set. I don't usually have "peas and carrots" so I just throw in some peas and some diced roasted carrots, sometimes I use a vegetable medley that has green beans, corn, peas, and carrots...just go crazy! :)

Every time I make this, the Z-Squad always comments on how we should have it more often....it even won a prize in a contest at my old job. :) So this time, I made 2 and put one in the freezer. :)

Pot Pie

What's In It:

2 pie crusts

10oz pkg frozen peas and carrots*

1/3 c butter

1/3 c flour

1/2 lrg onion, chopped

1/2 t salt

1/2 t pepper

2 c chicken broth

2/3 c milk

1 c cooked chicken or turkey, shredded/diced

What To Do With It:

If using frozen vegetables, place in colander and rinse to separate, drain.

Melt butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Saute onion for a few minutes. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Stir in broth and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil for 3-5 minutes until sauce starts to thicken. Stir in meat and vegetables, remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Place one pie crust in the bottom of a 9x9 pan. Pour vegetable mixture into pan. Place remaining pie crust on top. Turn edges of pastry under.

I still can't follow directions ;)

Bake about 35 minutes or until golden.

*I always get a little generous with the veggies, usually adding an extra cup or so. :)

About Me

Most of all I enjoy spending time with my beautiful family! I have been truly blessed to find my Wolverine. He is the most incredible man I have ever met, my best friend and my partner in crime! We have the 2 most amazing kids - Ze-Ra and Te-Man and they are quite the adventure! I LOVE doing anything outside - gardening, hiking, walking, camping, biking, mowing the grass, I even enjoy weeding the garden (a little). I have an addiction to my kitchen - I cook, I can, I bake, and I EAT! I also have a love affair with my sewing machine. That love affair has led me to open my own diaper shop at http://hyenacart.com/stores/honeybeebottoms/ :)
